Another image from Marco Island

40D, 500 f/4, 1/200- at f/5.6, Manual Mode, Evaluative Metered, ISO 400. Raw, Tripod, small cropped to slight pano and cloned out some reflections in the water from other birds.

Quite well done and a nice bird to boot with the bright yellow lores. Like the COMP and the water. Wish only that the near wing were fully raised.

Tigertail?

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Agree with Artie. Loving the whites in this one a lot, Don. Excellent angle of the bird and the shooting angle.

[Dave Leroy]

Another one with very nice light.

The head area is very sharp at 1/200.
I like the nice pose and how the bird appears to be wading through the water.

Well done.

Nice pose and excellent exposure control.

[Don Lacy]

The head area is very sharp at 1/200.
Actually that should be 2000 and yes Artie.

[Arthur Morris]

Thanks Don. I have been there once or twice. Can be great :)

[James Salywoda]

I really like the hunting pose captured excellent shot.

[Nico Steenberg]

Great comp and sharp detail in the feathers. Like the comp, exposure and pose :S3:
